The Cruise Ship

Should have done this years ago. But don't tell Pearl I said that because she's been on at me for ages to do a cruise. I kept telling her I didn't want to be stuck on a floating hotel with a bunch of strangers. I'd rather spend our holidays towing a caravan around Australia, where I know the score.

The Cruise Ship is a short story from the Tall And True writers' website, written and narrated by Robert Fairhead.
